The orcs makes a move; traitor found?

"it would be better to focus on what's at hand, little girl, I would advice you to announce the impending war,we don't have much time your majesty" the seer of the Elven kingdom advised the empress to forget the issue about the traitor for now.

The empress was lost in thought but after hearing the old man she sealed her resolve,she nodded and looked to her assistant "summon all members of the elven council immediately" "yes, your majesty " Mary left with a few guards.

The Elven council was mainly consisted of ten positions for different elves. The elves occupying this positions were no ordinary people either. They were well-known elves who achieved or had something to offer the kingdom which no one else could do for the elven race.

They consisted of ten members including the empress as the head of the council. They had the power to speak with the empress and decide what and what not. Though the empress was the highest status,there were things that she couldn't do without their opinions,but because of their close-knit relationships and good wishes for the kingdom,they were always united and selfless unlike corruptible people from other races. These other nine elves were known as pure-Noble elves.

The incoming war was something that should be discussed and required planning immediately,they also had to know how close the enemies were to getting here,but mostly important was to figure out how to survive this disaster.

In the ORCS kingdom,miles away from the elven's.

Inside a dimly lit room in the Orcs king castle,Mjarr stood before a complete array drawing which had an ominous glow to it. "Finally finished" he mumbled as his eyes tinged with excitement. Before him was a magic circle with strange markings that even he didn't understand. "My Lord ,the orc armies are on standby and ready to move at your order" a green orc with white hair tipped with a crown said. The king was in a full battle armor that had lots of marks and dents on it,the armor was black with golden markings all over ,it had seen better days but what was interesting about the full set was the faint oppressive feeling of mana,it was an armor imbued with magic,an enchanted armor.

The orcs are neither good at magic nor creating intricate armory ,they could never get their hands on enchanted weapons or armor easily. The orc king having one was not surprising but an epic grade one at that....it was definitely not something normal, Mjarr looking at the king,was surprised by the armor and couldn't help but ask "an epic grade full set?,how did you come across this" greed shone in the demons eyes. "This is an armor that has been passed down from king to king in the orc race.it is our ancestral armor." The king replied fearing that the demon might want it for himself . The demon smirked and was about to say something when the magic circle before him started glowing. This attracted both people's attention but before anything happened further ,Mjarr gave an order "start the invasion to the elven kingdom,I'll will come and help once I'm done here,leave!".

Heeding the demons order,he left immediately feeling glad that he did not demand for his armor. He came out of the crude palace and looked to his side to find three orc shamans. The shamans were part of the orc race and earned respect only below the king,they were devoted believers of gods, and were the 'mouthpiece of the gods',this was what made them different as they had the general ability to enhance orc warriors abilities such as

and also debuff abilities . This were the only abilities they had,but it made the orcs even more powerful.

Horns sounded as the readied warriors roared with vigor, they were finally going to destroy those elven brats who believed they were precious. It was easy to motivate these orcs as the king said "whoever was able to capture any elf alive gets to have them". The muscle brains only had one thing they cared apart from strength,.... ravishing beauties. They got into arrow formations and headed to a few warships that had the magic imbued in it. It was bought from the Fae merchants in anticipation of the war. Occupying the three ships out of seven the orcs beaded to the marked place on their map given to them by the flame fiend. The king led the warships in a certain direction. "Finally, I'll accomplish what our ancestors couldn't" he thought to himself ,grinning.

In the elven kingdom, inside the palace was a separated tall room . Inside it was a gigantic table made of mahogany wood,and sat around it was ten seats with only one bigger than the rest. They were recently occupied as the council members began discussing amongst themselves. The room only had eight people present exemption of the queen and the seer.

"A war?,how is that even possible,how could they locate our kingdom" a man said in sharp voice, slamming his hands on the table he continued "someone must have led them here!".

"That's not possible sir sanguines" a female elve in battle armor said.

"Are you suggesting we have a traitor amidst us?" A man dressed in royal blue robes said squinting his eyes at the noble.

"We do" said a sweet voice from the entrance to the room,the empress made her entrance,her graceful figure dazzling both males and females alike. What she said earned a few quite seconds until..

"WHAT!!!?"

All the people seated exclaimed at once,a traitor,that was.....

"But we have to devise a plan in order to survive this coming war first,sir Alistair has made it clear we might not survive,but I would make sure to minimize the losses as much as possible,we won't be going down without a fight..." sitting down ,she was escorted by her assistant and Alistair. On the other hand, Alistair insisted on bringing Marlene for unknown reasons,it was usual of him to do eccentric things that would confuse others but the empress trusted him whole-heartedly.

Marlene ,seeing the noble figures all at once made her shrivel in fright and pressure,they had such strong auras that even she couldn't stand straight.

The empress noticed this and released her aura,the massive amount of aura enveloped the entire room and suppressed the other nobles while enclosing her warmly. This made it easier for Marlene to stand amidst them,but then the old seer, sir. Alistair said something that gave her a bigger fright.

" The reason why the enemies were able to locate us is because of this girl here..."

The empress' eyes widened with shock, including everyone "WHAT!"

Marlene was the traitor?.....
